In bitcoin a nonce is hashed with the previous block until one gets a digest that is below the target threashold. There is no POW in next so how are nonces used in this scheme? I really need as much detail as you can give me. I will even send a tip if i come out of this conversation understanding what i hoping to understand. Smiley

Now I got ur question and answered in https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,866.msg7100.html#msg7100

TL;DR: Nxt mining algo is based on ur invention.

OH HECK YES! afk while i buy a million of these things Grin

oh but hey can you do me one more favor. can you link me to the original source where you got this information. i really want to read more.

Edit: I've seen the date of ur post, it had been posted 1 day before Nxt released. Did u write about ur invention somewhere else or earlier?

i really really really need someone to answer this question for me:

can anyone explain to me how it is determined who has the right to author the next block. i understand that the more nxt you have the higher your chance, but specifically how is the "winner" selected?

I know all of you guys who have 40k+ invested in this thing have to have figured out the answer to this question before you dropped that kind of cash.

It's very similar to Bitcoin. Who gets correct nonce wins the block.

... planning to get rid of the interface completely.
- very sad.

The browser (https) access and the absence of stand-alone client is the most distinguishing (and attractive) feature of Nxt.

The browser access successfully works on smartphones right now.

Hope BCNext will change his mind regarding browser client.

I don't like the java interface at all and would prefer a stable, fast, clean native interface.

me too.
i want a client which is lean, small, fast and cross os, running
without installation from my usb-stick on windows, linux or mac,
able to connect to my private local node, my public net node and
even to other secured nodes later without any stored browser
history and security concerns like this, just by one click from
any place.

i want to manage my account, handle shares on the asset exchange
and use all the cool features nxt is providing soon without
leaving the client workspace, just like a central application hub.

i also want to see all quotes for other coins, best in near realtime
and trade them with advanced tools and technical analysis including
candlestick charts. auto-notifications on price-actions and bot-trading
with backtesting tools are also welcome.  

i want a client which never needs updates, because this is built in
and it would also nice to add special plugins with a single click and
use them without restarting my os or even the client itself.
all this should fit into 1mb to send the client via mail to friends
without bothering them by complex multilayer installations and make
them start nxt easy.
  
well, we don't have it right now but we could have it soon. ;-)

WoW sounds and looking sexy! Now that will get Nxt some attention.

New version of the mac client now has auto-update support, whenever a new version of the nxt client comes out you will be notified and asked to update. The app checks for a new version on start, and also once a day if you keep it running forever.

Download here: https://copy.com/Gd4AMCJjdJ3l

Now I need some people to test if the auto-update really works (as it does on my system), so you can download a version here which has the nxt 0.3.19 client included. After startup it should ask you to update.

https://copy.com/MeTLJy7zhiM1

Btw, you will now get a "loading blocks" message on first start. This ensures that blocks.nxt and other files are created and you do not see zero balances. This is only on first load of the app and if you haven't started the app in a week or more.

Donations are appreciated, put a lot of time in to this. Only 3 donations so far. Thanks to those that did donate :-) (Nxt id in my signature)

PS: Right click the application, then choose "open" if you get a security warning, this is normal - because the application is not yet signed.

PS2: Make sure any other java server is not running any more before starting this app.

Mac 10.6.8?   Cool Cool Cool Huh

Here's a quick work around to install jdk 1.7 on OSX 10.6.8

Edit the file:
Code:
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

and change your version number to 10.7.0 or higher
Code:
ProductBuildVersion
        10X529
        ProductCopyright
        1983-2011 Apple Inc.
        ProductName
        Mac OS X
        ProductUserVisibleVersion
        10.7.0
        ProductVersion
    10.7.0

download jdk1.7 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html and install it.


Change the version number back to the original value in SystemVersion.plist file.

Then run:
Code:
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home

Then download and install NRS as per usual.

Mac 10.6.8?   Cool Cool Cool Huh

OMG.  Upgrade your Mac instead of asking developers to support an operating system that is three major versions behind the current one.

Mavericks is FREE: http://www.apple.com/ca/osx/how-to-upgrade/

And if you don't want to run Mavericks, go to 10.7, for FREE: http://os-x-lion-1074.en.softonic.com/mac

Even my ancient, ANCIENT Mac Mini can run 10.7.  You have no excuse.

The more I learn about Nxt, the more excited I get about it.  Do we have future dates for certain Nxt milestones?  Source code release, others?  Maybe it's all based on blocks so we don't have dates?

Source code release: JANUARY 3rd, 2014!

Okay. But the different features will still be implemented BEFORE the source code will be revealed, right? Do you have a roadmap?

Block 22000 - Alias System
Block 25000 - Partial migration to Transparent Mining
Block 30000+ - Asset Exchange (needs extensive testing)

Somewhere between blocks 22K and 30K BCNext is going to release support of arbitrary messages. Such messages will have 3rd party defined format. For example, that guy with decentralized Poker will be able to start using Nxt to host game states.

+100000000000 thank you

and nexern, you rock!
